Etiwanda Falls and Day Canyon (Level 2+ Moderate)

I choose this hike because many hiking trails will be closed due to wet condition. This hike will be on unless there is a heavy rain.

We will start the hike at the end of Wilson Ave in Rancho Cucamonga. It makes the hike longer, but we will avoid the hassle of paid parking at the Etiwanda Falls Trailhead.

From Wilson Ave, we turn right into a wash road and turn right to Decliff Drive. After 1/4 mile, turn left and enter Day Canyon. Hike 2 miles to the end of Day Canyon where there is a small waterfall and an observation platform. After a rest we will go back 1/2 mile and turn left to go to Etiwanda Fall. After 1.5 mile, we will turn left to the main Etiwanda Falls trail for 1/2 mile to the Etiwanda Falls. After viewing the fall, we will hike the Etiwanda trail to the Etiwanda parking lot. Then we will turn right to the Decliff Road and the wash road back to Wilson Ave.

Distance: 10 miles
